We have been reminded by a few of you that we are a little late on
our update. The month of May has passed and we are now far into June.
There have been a few more hiccups along the way. But both Jim and I
want to assure you that we are working hard to move this process
forward.
Again, we would like to ask that if you plan on purchasing
anything at this time, that you read all of the posts http://zuzzy-wargame-miniatures.blogspot.com/2015/06/update-for-june-21st-2015.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (James Hubbs)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4749218085962802224.post-814446062559919723Sat, 16 May 2015 15:23:00 +00002015-05-16T11:26:21.284-04:00newsUpdate as of May 16th

I've been putting in about 4-6 hours a day on resin, but the weather

On the production end of things: June is finished for the most
part. All that is left is prep and packaging for a few stragglers.
July was started on Monday, as far as production goes. The mats
are also mostly finished. Again, they will be waiting on prep and
packaging.
An aside note: Preparation involves cleaning, cutting, and
trimming the mats. This process can take some time.

And though the Post Office has raised their rates several times, they were moderate changes and we chose to absorb the expense rather than change our pricing. But now, with the Postal Service's newest price increases, we have no choice but to increase our shipping rates to match it.
